A Little Birdie Told Me...

I created today's card by using a new circle stencil and Distress Oxides : Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple & Rustic Wilderness to create a watercolour background. For each colour, I swiped the ink pad onto a plastic mat and spritzed with water then laid my stencil down and placed my card over the top. Each time, I dried the colour before doing it again or changing my ink colours. I continued to do this until I was happy with the background. I then stamped my little reindeer & bird, coloured them with Copics and fussy cut them. I die cut my 'Christmas' sentiment with a shadow die and stamped the 'merry' onto the panel with black ink. Once I was happy with the placements, I pop dotted my reindeer and die cut sentiment and layered the panel onto a matching base card.

I am adding my card to the following challenges...

Hello...Thinking of You

I created today's card by using DO Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers & Wilted Violet and a new stencil to create a watercolour background. I swiped each colour separately onto a plastic mat and spritzed water and mixed it with the ink. Every time I placed my card into the ink/water mix, I dried it before doing it again. Once I was happy with the look, I removed my stencil and used a rectangle die to cut out my panel. I then stamped a silhouette floral off to one side and added my sentiment. The 'hello' sentiment was die cut twice to give it a bit of dimension and I trimmed down a sub-sentiment and adhered it with foam tape. To finish off, I adhered my panel to a purple card base.
